Update URL parameters mid-stream?

I'm using a roVideoScreen to display live video stream as follows


        video = CreateObject("roVideoScreen")
        video.setMessagePort(msgPort)
        video.SetContent(videoclip)
        video.show()

where dump of videoclip looks like

streamformat: hls
streamurls: (list of 1)...

streamqualities: (list of 1)...
  List(0)= SD
live: true
streambitrates: (list of 1)...
  List(0)= 0
playstart: -1

       videoclip=updateWithNewTicket()
       video.SetContent(videoclip)

Just a quick follow up, hacking-in use of "Stream" instead of "StreamUrls" did not solve the overall problem and actually made it worse as now both ".m3u8" and ".ts" were both pooling original parameters
